Digital cameras, ubiquitously present in the form of webcams, cell phones, and professional cameras, have provided enormous streams of data and means for communication and interaction. In this course, image understanding is addressed with the focus on core vision tasks of scene understanding and object recognition.
A broad range of techniques are studied on how computers can understand the visual world of humans including image formation and filtering, features (color and shape invariants, interest point detectors, descriptors, SIFT, HoG), visual information representation (vector space, statistical models, bag-of-words), learning and classification (nearest neighbor, kernel density estimation, SVM), dimension reduction (PCA, LDA and SVD), object detection and classification, object tracking (mean-shift, Kalman), and user interaction (active learning).
The class is taught by Prof. Theo Gevers, A/Prof. Thomas Mensink, A/Prof Pascal Mettes, and A/Prof Shaodi You. The teaching assistant team includes Anil Baslamisli, Hoang-An Le, William Thong, Mert Kilickaya, Wei Zeng, Jian Han, and Yunlu Chen, Rick Groenendijk, Partha Das.
